Landstar Gives Back in 2025

Giving Back, All Year Long

No matter the season, Landstar employees are dedicated to making a positive impact on their communities. During 2025, employees across the country supported a wide range of causes and charitable organizations, helping generate thousands of dollars, hundreds of boxes of donations and countless hours of service toward making a difference for their neighbors in need.

Second Helping 

Landstar likes to serve up twice the effort to help their communities combat food insecurity. In Rockford, Illinois, both current and retired employees dish out kindness year-round at Carpenter’s Place, a nonprofit homeless day center. Every three months, the Rockford community has the opportunity to have a free lunch at the outreach facility, with Landstar organizing both fundraising events and food preparation. Thanks to their efforts, over 400 guests were fed a hot meal in 2025. 

Recently, the Jacksonville headquarters once again partnered with Feeding Northeast Florida to ensure a bountiful Thanksgiving for its community during its annual food drive. There was even more to be thankful for this year, especially due to the efforts of Debbie Templeton and Alexis Williams, the two employees who coordinated the drive. With Landstar’s contributions, Feeding Northeast Florida was able to provide 22,998 more meals and collect 743lbs of food. In total, Landstar generated 23,618 meals on behalf of the nonprofit. On donation day, Feeding Northeast Florida visited the headquarters to load up overflowing boxes of packaged and canned goods.

Santa’s Helpers

As the holiday season ramps up, so does the community outreach. For the past 35 years, generous employees at Landstar’s Jacksonville headquarters have partnered with the Child Guidance Center (CGC), which offers support services to children and families in the area, to provide holiday gifts for at-risk youth. This year, employees donated over 120 new bikes and helmets, which Landstar organizer Sid Sutphin helped deliver in time for the holidays. Employees also collected gifts and monetary donations for the Christmas wish lists of 125 children in need at CGC, thanks in part to Kristin McNaron, who coordinated the effort.
